Symptom: Swelling symptoms
Swelling symptoms:
Symptoms causing swelling or enlargement.
Introduction:
Parts of the body may swell in response to injury, infection
or disease, or because of an underlying
lump.
Swelling can also occur if the body is not circulating
fluid well (especially
ankle swelling).
Generalized swelling from fluid retention is called
edema.
Lymph nodes may swell in response to infection (see
swollen lymph nodes).
Any type of swelling symptom needs prompt professional medical diagnosis.
